Your first? Welcome to the new world of cliques and toads, shut the door behind you.
My school had ideas above its station and I did fencing for PE some terms (it was indoors, didn't involve wearing just pants like swimming, finished early) yet it didn't do me any good. And despite what I'd been led to believe, whenever I've had a moody widescreen telly to sell in the pub it's been no help whatsoever.
